1962 Map of Kittridge Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Adobe Range dominates this portion of Elko County, Nevada, where rugged peaks and ephemeral drainage systems define the high-desert terrain. Topography from 1958 and 1962 aerial surveys, with 1980s updates, reveals a landscape of ranching and early telecommunications infrastructure. The Kittridge Ranch and namesake Kittridge Springs represent the vital water-access points necessary for survival in this arid basin. High points like Sherman Peak and the East Twin formation watch over a network of seasonal watercourses, including Sixteenmile Creek and Eightmile Creek. A noteworthy sign of mid-century technical expansion is the Bell Radio Facility, positioned on a high ridge to provide line-of-sight communication across the range. The map also traces numerous four-wheel-drive trails that provide access to points like Knoby and Cherry Spring, illustrating the persistent remoteness of the region even into the latter half of the 20th century.
